Come and enjoy your stay at "Keeping it REEL"

The home is nestled in the Sea Isle subdivision one canal away from the bay, walking distance to The West End Marina And Restaurant, the community swimming pool, and the boat launch with just short drive to the beach. I suggest renting a golfcart during your stay and can provide you with the information once the home is reserved.

We have a boatlift for your boat if needed key is provided for the boat launch, fishing table, outside shower, open bar area downstairs with Smart TV and a full-size bathroom and refrigerator in the open bar area.

We offer 2 Paddleboards, crab trap, bait bucket, life jackets, boat dock ladder!! Bring your fishing poles, floats for the canal and enjoy the breeze downstairs. Enjoy fishing at night we have you covered with underwater fishing lights. Grab a chair, a cold drink and "reel" in dinner. You may purchase a fishing license at the Marina when picking up your bait.

Feel up to a game of ping-pong? We have one in the garage for the challenge!! We also offer some beach toys and family friendly outdoor games however we cannot guarantee these for every stay due to items that end up missing or taken by accident.

We are a pet friendly up to two pets: We do require a non-refundable pet deposit of $125.00 and ask that you clean up after your pet. If you leave the house, please crate if not trained.

Now we have covered the downstairs area as you walk upstairs to the spacious deck with the unobstructed view of the marina, we offer shade or sun seating. You can sit and enjoy watching the boats come in/out of the marina all day long.

As you open the front door you are greeted with open concept of the kitchen, dining and living room area that is perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen is fully stocked with all the dishes, utensils and pots & pans you will need. Feel free to email and ask me for a specific item if it is needed during your stay. We have seating for 2 at the kitchen island and a table seating 4.

The living room has a 55in Smart TV, family board games, karaoke machine and plenty of comfortable seating. The sofa converts to queen sleeper if needed.

Primary bedroom has a king size bed (linens provided) dresser, walk-in closet and 55in Smart TV with a full-size bathroom and double vanity. We provide all the towels you will need for your stay however not beach towels. There is a little deck off the bedroom, and you can sneak a peek at the bay.

Guest bedroom offers a king size bed and full closet with the guest bathroom across from the bedroom.

The guest bathroom is a full-size bathroom.

We provide hair dryers, bodywash, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner.

Sea isle is approximately 21 miles west from The Strand tourist area. What many do is plan a day or two "in town" and visit the historical aspects of Galveston, shop the strand, eat at one of the many delicious restaurants Galveston has to offer (I will give you a list of where the locals eat when booked), Moody Gardens and Pleasure Pier for family fun!!!!

This home is for families that want to come and enjoy a relaxing time, fish, go to the beach, or sit on the deck and soak up the sun!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Reel Fun!!!
Our first visit to Keeping it Reel was perfect! The weather could not have been better for our two night stay! Jackie was so easy to work with, and we found the house to be exactly as advertised! We spent a lot of time downstairs fishing, swinging and playing games. Sunsets on the pier and sunrises on the beach were gorgeous at this time of year. We were happy to have a golf cart to ride the neighborhood and stop into the Marina for snacks, live music and lots of laughs!looking forward to renting this gem again one day! Thank you Jackie for the perfect weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The living area, bedrooms are so comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and more than we hoped for. We loved hanging out on the upper and lower decks just watching the water and the fish. The manager is accommodating and responsive. We will definitely stay here again.

We had 4 adults and 2 toddlers stay at Jackie's house over labor day weekend. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed (including shampoo, conditioner, soap, dish & laundry detergent). Everything was clean and well maintained. The outdoor areas are wonderful and we utilized the boat slip. We hope to come back sometime!

All Around Great Experience
The house was perfect for our family of 4! It had all the essentials. We loved being right off the canal so we were able to bring our boat for fishing. It was setup perfectly for a good time fishing with the boat slip, fish cleaning station, and pier lights. The boys enjoyed some time on the paddle boards, & we played a few games of ping pong. We also enjoyed the outdoor shower after a hot day at the beach. The downstairs Bar swings & hammock were wonderful, & the downstairs bathroom & fridge were so convenient! We would definitely look forward to booking again next summer!

A gem on Sea Isle
This was our second stay at this property and we hope to stay again in the future. The location is perfect. We love being on the water and it has a beautiful view. We drove a few minutes to Terramar beach each day and also enjoyed lunch at the Marina in Sea Isle. It’s nice not having to travel far to fish. There were a few upgrades since our last stay. I noticed there were all new blinds in the front of the house. The fence downstairs was a lovely addition. Check-in and out is a breeze. Our hostess is always kind, generous and responsive to our needs. Thank you, Jackie!

Island retreat successful!
My family had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful and well kept. The amenities provided really made our stay more convenient and fun. By this, i mean the 2 person jet tub, the hammock, the paddleboards, the washer/dryer, the bathroom and shower on the dock just to name a few. We rented a golf cart which made the 5 min drive to the beach and 2 min drive to the marina so nice. The Marina Restaurant was a favorite among our family as well! I highly recommend this property and its owners if you're looking for a relaxing vacation!

Exceptional Experience
We absolutely love this property. Clean, cozy, and had everything we needed and more. There was plenty to do right on the property that we were able to spend most of our time there and just relax. We played table tennis, enjoyed the paddle boards, swam off the dock, and drank our morning coffee while watching the fish jump. The house was immaculate, the sheets were soft, and the bed comfortable. Jackie Lee is a top-notch host. She was quick to answer any questions and offer assistance with any concerns we had. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were all friendly. We prefer the west end because it's less touristy and this property was perfect for a much needed vacation that will be a lasting memory for us.I highly recommend and hope to stay here again next year.
